A linear equation is drawn as a straight line on a set of axes. To draw the graph we need coordinates. We generate these coordinates by substituting values into the linear equation.

Capture relationships between data sets by graphing linear equations in Microsoft Excel 2007. Linear equations allow you to predict values within your data set and view the overall trend.

In this chapter, you will get to learn about linear equations and their applications in real life problems. You will learn methods of solving the linear equations.
